Posted February 25, 201411 yr Hi y'all. I wanna show you my new MOC. Its a 3 axled Daf 85CF 6x4 crane truck The idea comes to stand after seeing a beautiful Ginaf 6x6 from the dutch company Nederhoff. At first i wanna try to make the same short chassis but wen i went building i found out that it aint gonna workout the way i wanted it. So now its a bit longer but more into scale. The whole truck is completly new and build up from the ground. The trucks cabin can tilt, has interior and underneath the cabin there's a fake 4 cylinder engine(6 cyl was to big). The complete crane was build in red and is supported by 4 stabilizers, the 2 at the crane are free turning and extend 1x, the design is rather simple though. Because a picture says more than a 1000 words.... opening doors interior fake engine stabilizers Any comments are welcome
February 25, 201411 yr It sure does look cool, but is the crane arm a modified 8258 crane arm? Same with the outriggers, right?
February 25, 201411 yr Author Thanks for the reactions. @Unimog123: yes the crane arm is heavily modified, i didn't like the standard single extension and want to make it more accurate with the real thing so the crane now has 3 extensions with a jib with 3 extensions but due to the modification the crane is real heavy, to heavy for the xl motor to unfold it by it's own strenght so it's need manual help unfolding. If you mean the front stabilizer, they are my own design.
February 25, 201411 yr Well nice job with the modification of the crane arm. For the stabilizers I just recognized the rear ones because they look very similar to the ones on 8258.
February 25, 201411 yr Wow.. that is awesome! It''s a beautiful MOC. I really like the crane arm as well. TLH
February 27, 201410 yr Author Everybody thanks for the comments. Because the Daf is a bit lonely, i'm already making a new moc. This time it's a Daf 3 axled heavy transport tractor with steered 2nd front axle This was the truck last day. A day later the truck is looking like this Behind the cabin stands a tower which gives place to a large hydraulic tank, air reservoirs and a cooler for the torque converter, on top of the tower are 2 worklights placed Underneath the truck i've made a look a like retarder(torque converter) For now this is still a WIP so stay tuned ;)
February 27, 201410 yr Nicely done! Are you going to give it a trailer with some kind of attachment as well?
February 27, 201410 yr Author Yes the plan is to make a 3 axled lowloader with attachable/detachable gooseneck but i'm running a bit short on lego, so i need to take a look if i can make the trailer. Otherwise i will make it partly with old studded technic beams
March 2, 201410 yr Author Since the last post i've done quitte some work. I've given the truck some interior and started making a lowloader for the truck This was 2 days ago and i would like to present you the finished product. The gooseneck Lowering The support for the gooseneck The lowloader itself Attaching the gooseneck and a few more together with the Daf cranetruck I'm eager to know what you guys think about it
March 3, 201410 yr Nice work. Can you transport something on the trailer without problems? Like the 8043?
March 3, 201410 yr Author Thanks . To be quite honest I surely don't know, I don't have anything to transport but I think it wouldn't be a problem. I already had about 1kg on the trailer and it hold quite good.
March 12, 201410 yr Author Thanks . @98267a, No there is no video and I don't panning on making one, just because everything is manually operated( no PF-infrared is used)I don't see the point of making a video. At my home there just static models even though they have working functions.
March 13, 201410 yr very nice trucks. One question .how does the steering On the trailer works?. Grtz Johnny DAF CF 85 daily driver.
March 14, 201410 yr Author Thank you . The steering works manually (due to the leg of infrared stuff), true a 20 tooth bevel gear between the 2 signal lights Each axle has a different turning radious
March 16, 201410 yr Hoi hoi Nice love for sure the crane on the truck, and nice jop on the cylinders for sur going to use that in the next truck crane. I made also a flatbed trailer if you are intrested in it take a look over here, http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Album=YRKTLWYQ Muddy
